God I love her voice! :) Astro - what was the very first concert you ever attended? I'm really embarassed by this -- but my very very first concert? Lionell Richie. Yes, it's true. The tickets were a birthday present from a guy who thought I could be easily wooooo'd with a live rendition of "Say You, Say Me". Go ahead. Make fun. :p Linds - the Norah CD is totally worth the investment. God I love her voice! :)

It's been several years since we've seen Harry Connick (not sure we've seen him since the <i>Star Turtle</i> tour) and he ALWAYS puts on a great show. His new (mostly) instrumental album (the french titled one, not NOLA) is excellent and easily one of my favorites of his. We tried getting 6 tickets to his show here and couldn't so I went for 2 groups of 3 on two computers in the office. Had both groups in about the 20th row center with two or three people between us. One went through then ticketmaster decided to slow down so the other group ran out of time and is in the top third. At least the Orpheum is small without a really bad seat, but it still ROYALLY pissed me off!!!!!! It's also been a VERY expensive month for tickets... First Harry, then The Police, and now we got tickets for Mama Mia and are taking mrs. knight's parents with us. Time to get that tax return in so we can get the big money in!!!

Thanks for the mention :-)! I still need to listen to the new Norah Jones CD . . . we're selling them at Starbucks, so that might be something I need to invest in ;-)! Woo hoo!

For now. At least until my hormones gear up for more fun than you can handle in the wee hours of the morning. So glad you're meeting your deadlines on your book. :) And, HA HA, I liked your pun after mentioning Britney's bald head about this being where our heads are at as a society. :P Thankfully, my insomnia has abated.

I laugh in the face of sleep conventions and blaze my own trail into the wee hours of morning. Plus, I have a unusually high tolerance for caffiene :) Book signings are a ways off - - I have to finish the darn thing first! :D Charlie - my fellow sleep sufferer :) 5 hours would be a dream come true.

I kinda forgot to update my e-mail for her fan club and I'm not sure there were a dozen tickets left after the presales for the Minneapolis show. At least we have tickets to Harry Connick, Jr., even if Ticketmaster did royally screw us on seats. But that's a rant for another post... We tried to get tickets for Norah but couldn’t.

Oh sure, people will point to the studies that say say "8 hours each night" but how many people do you know do that? That's like saying the US RDA is what we should eat. Please. I've lived on an average of 5 hours of sleep per night for over 11 years now... on the rare chances I can sleep more I am usually up after 6 hours. Sleep, in my mind, is for people who cannot tolerate caffeine. Better stock up on Sharpies.... you know, so you can autograph your book! What is a normal sleep pattern?
